The Hydration Reset — Evidence-Informed Digital Hydration Guide

The Revitalize ALFA MD Health Library — Book Two

What Your Body Needs From Water — and Why Hydration Is More Than Drinking More

Written by Marté King, pH Balance ALFA Lifestyle Coach and Molecular Hydrogen Practitioner, The Hydration Reset is a professionally designed, evidence-informed guide that separates hydration physiology, peer-reviewed evidence, practitioner experience, and product-specific claims.

This revised professional edition was tightened from the earlier draft, corrected for layout and infographic defects, and expanded with practical guidance for GLP-1-based medical weight loss, older adults, exercise-related sodium decisions, molecular-hydrogen safety context, and the 7-Day Hydration Reset.

Inside the 34-page guide:

• How thirst, kidneys, hormones and circulation regulate fluid balance
• Population water-intake references versus individualized needs
• Thirst, urine, heat, activity and symptoms as a hydration dashboard
• Hydration considerations for adults over 60
• Heat, exercise, sweat-rate and individualized electrolyte decisions
• Hydration during GLP-1-based medical weight loss
• Kidney, heart and medical situations requiring individualized fluid plans
• ALFA Water as a practical hydration routine — separated from universal medical claims
• Alkaline-water evidence and evidence boundaries
• Molecular hydrogen as a distinct emerging evidence category
• A practical 7-Day Hydration Reset
• Hydration myths worth retiring
• Reset tracker, 14-day context log, sweat-rate worksheet, clinician questions and evidence-reading checklist
• 20 verified references, evidence reviewed through September 2026
